ONLY IMPROVEMENT THE ICONIC HATCH NEEDS

The Volkswagen Golf is the world’s first-ever compact hatchback, and it has become a cultural phenomenon worldwide. From fuel-efficient everyday models to fun GTIs and wild R32s and Rs, the Golf answers almost all car-related questions. Unfortunately for the iconic hatch, the modern ones use a drive-by-wire gas pedal, which causes a throttle lag, even in the top-of-the-line sporty models. The Golf writes the rules for a compact hatchback, and we have the ultimate solution to refine it with no throttle lag.

To restore the old-school, instant throttle feel in your modern Golf, all you need is the Pedal Commander throttle response controller. It directly connects to the OEM pedal travel sensor and modifies the signal with vehicle-specific software. Pedal Commander gives you four driving modes and 36 individual levels to dial in the perfect throttle response precisely. Anything from better economy to full power delivery is at your fingertips. You can also protect your Golf with the best add-on vehicle security system: Pedal Commander’s built-in Anti-Theft mode!

MK7 (2015-2021)

MK6 (2010-2014)

MK5 (2003-2008)

MK4 (2000-2003)

The 8th-generation Volkswagen Golf boasts a sleek and handsome design with all the advanced technology you’d expect in a modern car. It continues to be the benchmark for a compact hatchback and offers immense flexibility with its engines: You can get anything from efficiency to wild power in your MK8. The Pedal Commander throttle response controller is the ultimate plug-and-play performance upgrade for the MK8 Golf, regardless of its engine.

From the immensely practical SportWagen to the power junkie R, the MK7 Volkswagen Golf ticks all the boxes when it comes to a compact hatchback. Regardless of the body type, trim level, or engine you have in your MK6, the Pedal Commander throttle response controller is the ultimate plug-in upgrade that instantly transforms the way you drive, for the better.

The MK6 Volkswagen Golf is a handsome and practical hatchback with engines that offer efficiency with potent TDIs to turbocharged power with TSIs. No matter which one you have, the high-MPG ones or the fantastic Golf R with the powerful TSI, the Pedal Commander throttle response controller is the only plug-and-play upgrade that significantly improves your driving experience.

The MK5 Golf, also known as the Rabbit in North America, elevates the iconic hatchback with a potent chassis and a wide array of engines with efficient and reliable TDIs to turbocharged TSIs. A VR6 still powers the special R32, and there is even an advanced twincharger 1.4-liter with both a turbocharger and a supercharger in some variants. No matter your Golf or Rabbit’s engine, you can unlock a better driving experience with the Pedal Commander throttle response controller.

The MK4 Volkswagen Golf set the benchmark for a modern compact hatchback. It comes with handsome styling and practical interiors. A plethora of engine options power the little hatch, from the high-MPG TDIs and turbocharged four-cylinders all the way up to the iconic VR6 powering the almighty R32. No matter which Golf MK4 you have, the only upgrade you need is the Pedal Commander throttle response controller to reliably and significantly improve its performance.

WHAT IS THROTTLE LAG?

When you first press down on the accelerator, there is a delay before anything actually happens. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) systems cause this as they take the signal from the accelerator pedal when you press it and send it to the vehicle’s ECU. All of this process causes a delay called throttle lag. Besides, manufacturers deliberately leave the delay there because it makes the vehicle suitable for various types of drivers.

Some may need such precautions, but the delay may become frustrating in some scenarios. Pedal Commander is the easiest and most effective solution for Volkswagen Golf drivers who want power instantly.

PC09 / Volkswagen / Golf / MK8 (2022-2024) / (1.0L TSI - 1.4L TSI - 1.5L TSI - 2.0L TSI GTI - 2.0L TSI R - 1.5L CNG TGI - 1.0L mild Hybrid Turbo - 1.4L PHEV Turbo - 1.5L mild Hybrid Turbo - 2.0L TDI)

HOW DOES PEDAL COMMANDER IMPROVE YOUR CAR?

Modern vehicles have electronic throttle systems. Contrary to the old cable throttles, where the pedal was physically connected to the throttle valve, new drive-by-wire systems are completely controlled by the vehicle’s ECU. On top of that, the throttle valve’s opening speed and how much it opens are regulated by the manufacturer’s settings. All of this process and electronic control causes a delay in the initial throttle response, called throttle lag.

The Pedal Commander throttle response controller modifies the signal from the throttle position sensor. The modified signal transmitted to the ECU makes the throttle valve fully open when you floor the gas pedal, and it also changes the speed the valve operates. This eliminates the unwelcome throttle lag. Pedal Commander also allows you to customize your Golf’s throttle response with its four driving modes with nine increments on each mode.

Is such a nice product and the fact that you can use your phone is amazing also the response of my MK7 golf is crazy thanks pedal commander.

Demetrius Rangel

Excellent product would recommend for anyone looking for immediate response on the gas pedal more horsepower more torque great

I own a 2014 Jetta MK6 S base model in case anyone is looking for one for it

Mike 77373

I have had my Pedal Commander installed for about a month now. My installation was easy and done in about 10 minutes. I have the unit with Bluetooth and it slid right behind my console with ease. Understand that is not a HP upgrade but a pedal response upgrade. It dramatically increases the response of the accelerater so much that you will feel the difference on take off.I have not seen a change in MPG.

Jon Miller

Installed in our Audi A5 and it is worth every penny.Installation was a little harder than advertised because there is not enough room to get a good grip on the existing plug, but 1/2 hour for and old guy with bad knees is still worth it.

jgohra

Amazing how the delay from a standstill is gone as well as dramatic increase in throttle response.

gizelah adams

Love it

Joseph G.

Very easy install and does exactly as advertised. I am running this on my Porsche macan turbo- it’s a nice addition and helps the turbos spool faster without me being in sport mode and having the tranny constantly doing the harder shifts. The app works great as well

howard kent lipton

No doubt the best way to get a custom performance!!!!!

Randy Woodward

Great product

Giulio L.

This thing works great , but this Vw cars are so sensitive!! Every time I use the pedal commander on my 2007 Rabbit after one day or so the check engine light comes on. Didn’t had that problem on my 2014 Honda Civic SI.

omg this thing is crazy is neck snapping could not believe it I swear it feels like it added 75hp to my car 2010 S5 v8 4.2 6 speed manual with 89k b&b exhaust Jhm short shifter & intake I love this no lag crazy throttle response best purchase a must get I am in total amazement cant wait to do more mods super charger definitely coming or turbos twin at exhaust might even do rs5 upper intake manifold to do twin throttle bodies And Am flashing ecu bigger fuel pumps & injectors im going balls out

Art in Atlanta

This is a great product as it increases pedal sensitivity versus the factory default. This will NOT get you more horsepower, however, it feels like you get more horsepower quicker because at the slightest tap of the pedal, you are putting power to the wheels. You can actually feel the difference of each setting if you start the car, keep in neutral, and press down on gas pedal consistently and scroll through the settings.A couple of things to know:- You have to order the correct part for your car. There are several Pedal Commander's on Amazon. You can call the company to ensure you have the correct part before you order.- This took me about 45 minutes to install because I could not get to the existing connections for the accelerator pedal. After looking at a couple of video's on YouTube, I had the dash apart and the Pedal Commander installed.- It is super easy to change the mode (City, Sport, Sport+)-- you just press the yellow star. And you can tweak those settings even further with the +/- buttons.- The Pedal Commander also remembers your last setting, which I wasn't expecting, but really appreciate.I have had the Pedal Commander installed for a month and still love it. At least 2 of my buddies have ordered for their cars and are super happy with the results.

Nicola O.

Works great as described it, a bit too pricy but it does the job

Andy T.

Not only is this product almost too easy to install, I received instant gratification driving my 05 Audi A4 Cabriolet. The throttle lag was driving me crazy and felt like I really had to stomp it to feel any real power. I turned it to sport+ mode and turned it up and was literally blown away by the difference this product made. Complete turn around and feels twice as powerful. I thought it plugged into the code reader slot but it simply connects between the existing gas pedal circuit. Old circuit may be a little tough to pull apart so I recommend using a small flat head screw driver. Went on a hope buying it, and am still overwhelmed by the massive improvement it made on my car!! 10/10

Mike M.

If you understand what this thing does, it may be a great solution for you.What it does:1. Allow you to increase sensitivity of your pedal inputs.2. Allow you to decrease the sensitivity of your pedal inputs.What it doesn't do:1. Increase horsepower2. Increase torqueI am using this on a 2016 A7, we have had many Audi's and all of their pedal's had a great feel/response. The A7 in my humble opinion doesn't, it was my biggest complaint and loved everything else. This solution allowed me to increase pedal sensitivity and customize it to my preferences. If you have issues with the feel of your pedal, this thing is awesome. If you think this will make your Audi a Ferrari, you will be disappointed. Installation is relatively straight forward, the hardest part is accessing the sensor that goes into the pedal so you can take it off and put this in. It took me about 20 min on the A7.

TROY

I was kind of skeptical at first but man great product I felt the difference immediately installed it on my own 2 min literally no more lagging when I am reaching at an T-Crossing and some just give me right of way zoom I'm gone now not lagging on throttle and they are just watching like are you planning to go omg!

Dr. Santiago Baldoni

Nice package. I hope it works nice on my Audi TT 3.2

Mr.Smith

I have a 2015 audi s4. The throttle lag was driving me crazy and ruined my driving experiene. I ordered a pedal commander from this seller and not only did it get here super fast but once I installed it (which was very easy) it brought my car back to life. For me city mode works best for daily driving but with a push of a button my car turns into a highly responsive beast. I love it. So many different settings to choose from. You can truly fine tune your throttle responce with the pedal commander.
